“So fair and foul a day I have not seen.” I think this quote sums up exactly what Macbeth feels inside of the scene with the witches. The day is fair because he will get news from the witches and that news will most likely be good. However the day is foul at the same time because of the danger of the area, the creepiness of the witches, and the chance of bad news. I also think this quote represents the book as a whole. This quote can be compared to Macbeth's actions. Fair when he becomes king and foul how he murdered King Duncan to get there.
“O, full of scorpions is my mind!” I personally think that this quote also reveals how Macbeth feels about this whole scheme throughout the book so far. This quote meaning that Macbeth is tortured by what he has done and cannot recover from it. The scorpions are running around his mind and stinging him with painful memories of the past. Macbeth cannot hide from what he has done and will soon drown from his regrets.

Your second quote is really interesting, I didn't really understand it but your explanation is really helpful. Good job!
ReplyDeleteEleanor,
ReplyDeleteI like the two quotes. The first has significance to the whole book by showing the conflict between goodness and evil. The second is showing Macbeth's growing insanity.
